Seems like a waste of electricity to me. Its going to be 18c on Saturday and Sunday in Glasgow but with light rain. My room i have no idea what its like in here but its not warm or cold and my rig never gets hot to the touch the cpu is at 38c right now.

I dont know wtf you lot are running that is making the rooms that hot.

my room is 24'c, its just an ordinary room with 3pc's in it

Freedom etc probably have crunching farms and stuff which make some serious heat (imagine a 1000w fan heater on 24/7)

best i can do at the moment is my Phenom but its going to be on 24/7 (possibly - haven't decided yet) so i can hopefully give you some points, shame the TPU team isn't more supportive of the GPU project, i can rack up some serious points, i thought it was an error when i fired up prime-grid on my GTS 250, i'd never seen so many points

add in all you guys with your Quad SLI 500 series and stuff and you could climb quite quickly

GPU folding and CPU crunching.. you would be killing two birds with one stone. Or whatever the equivalent metaphor is. Throw me a PM if you want some help getting started.

reason why my room gets so hot is because I have the hot water pipes right underneath my floorboards. we recently just had the house's electricity completely rewired. as it was decades old. Next will be modernizing the plumbing and re routing the hot water pipes so they dont run directly through my room.

My room gets f**king hot! when the sun shines in, its like a furnace. If i close the curtains. it blocks my open windows and restricts airflow so my room just bakes even more.

Our house is ex council; i think these where built in the 30s though they are proper brick 4 on a block houses with the solid walls inside, none of this partition walls shite like in my cousins old tenement flat. Its the sound i hate in here. The sound you'd think would be great with those massive walls like it wouldn't leak sound but no you can here the tv in the next room. Most likely due to the shitty doors and possibly sound coming from under the floors.

I heard closing the blinds (or curtains) keeps heat from getting out and from getting in. In your case Freedom the heat would be trapped i guess.
When we moved in here the whole radiator system had to be sorted. They just use flexible plastic pipes to a connection in the hall where its piped to the combi boiler. This place had one of those massive old boilers and a fireplace which we took out.

The fuse box was right out of the 60s! Old guy i know ripped that out too and put in a new fuse box and re did a lot of the sockets but apparently the wiring in the house was great.

What about getting some large cardboard box and make something custom shaped so you can have open windows but blocked out sunlight?

Honestly i couldn't case less about anonymity anymore. If someone wanted to find me they probably could and its not like i have placed my address for anyone to see online. I dont give out my email either.

Yeah, I know, nothing really anonymous nowadays. Only reason I don't want to say company name is to avoid people making the link through google quickly. I am proud of the company I work for, but if I were to one day write something that they don't agree with, rather not be the guy you read about on the news fired over something silly.

Yeah definitely. Already consider 3 from the crunching team like real friends, prob gonna see them in my travels round Europe. Also from the people I've traded with on here, you can easily tell people are genuine and reliable. (well ok, we've had a couple bad ones, but we all clock on pretty quick who's an unwelcome part of the community.. like watercooled)
